Any origin is never an infinitesimal point, but a sphere of small radius that forms a basis for measurement. When the radius is small, the sphere approximates an infinitesimal point, and measurements from either the inner or outer surface of the sphere are the same. For a sphere of large radius, events are measured from either the inner or outer surface of the sphere, as well. Consequently, inverted space is the same reality as noninverted space, as I demonstrate with the mathematics at my web page,

Stop right there and explain, please. What do you mean by the outer and inner surface? The surface of a sphere has no thickness.
If you're thinking of a sphere made, say, out of physical material, so that it has some thickness, then the outer and inner surface area are ALWAYS a little different, regardless of how small the radius gets.

Es is alles quatsch, was er anglisiert.
